Our verdict
The USDCHF, known as the "Swissie," is the Forex ticker that is based on many Swiss francs are needed to buy one U.S. dollar. It's one of the most popular forex pairs because of it's stability (despite the EURCHF cap removal) and liquidity. The price is heavily effected by the interest rate differentials between the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank and as the Swiss franc is often considered a 'safe-haven' currency USDCHF often enters a bear run during times of market volatility or geopolitical tension.
Why buy USD over CHF:
The Swiss currency is a unique safe-haven currency in the world. It typically appreciates when geopolitical tensions flare up elsewhere in the world. We saw plenty of that in 2022/23. Moreover, the boom in luxury products also enhances the resiliency of many Swiss companies. The demand for CHF appears to be strong (see also EURCHF).
